The market has been released, and the Trump administration has not considered investing in Taiwan Electric or Micron, which is currently placing a stake in the United States.

War Street Journal (WSJ) exclusive report on the 21st. An official said that although the Trump administration considers investing in some companies that are supplemented by the 2022 Chips Act, it does not intend to seek equity in those smaller than the scale of manufacturers.

US Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick recently hinted that chip manufacturers such as Intel Corp. and Taiwan Electric will accept the subsidy provided by the "Diagram Act" and will allow the US government to obtain shares. He said on August 19 that "The Biden administration is equivalent to giving money to Intel, Taiwan and all other companies in vain." "Trump decided to change his approach and said, "Hey, we're going to use this fund to change back the shares. If we want to give you this money, we'll have to get a share."

This conversation will make the market feel distressed, and the US government may also want to invest in chip manufacturers such as Taiwan Electric, Micron, and Samsung Electronics. According to reports, Taiwan Electric Power High-level has initially discussed that if the Trump administration requests to invest, it will consider submitting the previously obtained supplementary stickers.

After the Biden administration imposed pressure, NTU agreed to go to Arizona to build a crystalline foundry factory and received a $6.6 billion chip law subsidy. However, sources revealed that NTU is not highly dependent on US financial aid.

The Wall Street Journal quoted officials as saying that the Trump administration does not count on holding corporate equity such as Taiwan Power, which is investing in the United States with codes. Comparatively, companies that have not expanded their investment commitments may be able to exchange shares for government subsidies. The official emphasized that "the US Department of Commerce does not intend to invest in Taiwan Electric and Micron."
